Product:OS X Product Version:Mac OS X 10.11.1 (15B42)
Classification:UI/Usability Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:
Previously on 10.10, one was able to copy and paste the standard folder icon onto a volume so it wouldn’t display as a gray little platter but as a folder. When one dragged that to the Finder sidebar, this was kept valid and showed as a folder. Maybe this issue is a sympton of 23247459 (apple radar). Previously, my folders „Downloads, Documents …“ got the correct items in the sidebar, probably due to their name.

Steps to Reproduce:
Create a volume called „Documents“, apply a folder icon via Finder->get info->select disk symbol->paste via command-v. Drag that volume in the sidebar in the Finder. Becomes disk icon again.

Expected Results:
As in 10.10, it should display icons (if only for the special name ones like Documents, Music and Downloads etc)

Actual Results:
Little hard drive icons next to the volumes

Regression:
Happened as of 10.11, not present in 10.10
